The wine region of Lisboa
Vast coastal IGP north of Lisbon, Portugal's largest producer by volume. Accessible, sun-filled reds: fruity, spicy Castelão, dense Touriga Nacional (black fruit, violet), fleshy Trincadeira, deep Alicante Bouschet. Fresh, mineral whites: straight, lemony Arinto (star of Bucelas), aromatic Fernão Pires, round Vital and Malvasia. Structured reds from Alenquer, sparkling at Óbidos.
The word of the wine: Chaptalization
The addition of sugar at the time of fermentation of the must, an ancient practice, but theorized by Jean-Antoine Chaptal at the dawn of the 19th century. The sugar is transformed into alcohol and allows the natural degree of the wine to be raised in a weak or cold year, or - more questionably - when the winegrower has a harvest that is too large to obtain good maturity.
